How do I know if my chimney needs repair?

Common signs are crumbling mortar between the bricks, cracked flaunching around the pots, white staining on the brickwork, and damp patches on ceilings near the chimney breast. Because a chimney takes weather from every side, problems often start out of sight, so it is worth having it checked from close up.

What is flaunching on a chimney?

Flaunching is the sloped layer of mortar on top of the stack that holds the pots in place and sheds rainwater away from the brickwork. Over time it cracks and crumbles, which lets water in and loosens the pots. Renewing it is a routine but important part of keeping a chimney sound.

Should I repair or remove an unused chimney?

Both are options. If you still value the look of the chimney, repointing and re-flashing keeps it sound. If it is redundant and costly to maintain, it can be taken down to roof level or removed entirely and the roof made good, which removes a long-term source of leaks.

A neglected chimney lets water into the roof long before anyone spots it from the ground. We check the brickwork, the flaunching and the flashings together, because a repair to one is wasted if the others are failing.

For stacks that are too far gone, a rebuild with matching brick restores both the look and the weatherproofing in one go.

What This Work Covers

Repointing worn and crumbling mortar joints
New flaunching to secure the pots and shed water
Lead flashings and soakers renewed where they meet the roof
Partial and full chimney rebuilds using matching brick
Redundant stacks removed and the roof made good
